Virtual Forum: |Barriers Facing Immigrants & Non-English Speakers Navigating The Unemployment System|
Unemployment benefits are a lifeline. But too often, that lifeline is out of reach to immigrants (and non-English speakers) because of the numerous barriers of the unemployment system. Educate yourself at this virtual forum about barriers non-English speakers & immigrants face when navigating the unemployment system in New Mexico! One of NMILC’s own attorneys, Jazmín Irazoqui-Ruiz, will be speaking during the virtual forum. Advocates & workers are urging the New Mexico Department of Workforce Solutions to address these issues so all families can get the benefits they deserve.
